“We just kept making mistakes and learning from them and testing and tweaking and eventually things started to roll and here we are.” ~ Jill Stanton  

You say you want to quit your job but you’re not sure how to go about starting an online business? Or maybe you’ve got an online presence but you’re still spinning your wheels wondering how to start making some money already! I hear you… in fact, I hear that a lot, so I invited someone who has the answers you’re looking for.

There are so many different ways to make money online–it all depends on what you want to do and how you want to do it. Jill Stanton and her husband Josh have made it their business to help you start a business and make money at it. Together they created screwtheninetofive.com and made a lot of mistakes before they finally hit success. Jill openly shares their ups and downs and what happened when things finally clicked.

Also in this episode we talk about: 

* The easiest way to replace your income;

* Finding a niche that passes the “wake up sweaty test”;

* How to find an affiliate program that is aligned with you and will make you money;

* How to do a keyword search;

* Why you should build and/or sell a product as soon as you get started online;

* What happens when you mix marriage and business (Jill calls them “Divorce Days”)

* The point at which Jill inevitably resorts to “the ugly cry.”

The life coaching world has lost one of its absolute best. 

Laurie Foley, a favorite among Martha Beck coaches, died on March 3 after a long “relationship” with ovarian cancer.

Laurie didn’t call it a “fight” or a “battle”… it simply was what it was, and she handled it with utmost grace and dignity. In August of 2012 she hung up a “Gone Fishing” sign on her website.

In this special episode of Gutsy Glorious Radio I talk to one of Laurie’s closest and dearest friends, Michele Woodward, who, along with Laurie, is one of my all-time favorite coaches.

Michele shares how Laurie refused to let cancer make her hide. She remained “transparent, authentic, and open” throughout the experience, and from this coach’s vantage point, she became an even greater force of energy and love and true grace.

I learned so much from Laurie, and as I discuss with Michele, she taught me as much about how to live as she did about how to die.

“Nothing says “yep, I’m a woman,” more than getting your period.” ~ Nicole Jardim

Let’s talk about periods. Yeah, the kind we generally don’t like to talk about. That’s Nicole Jardim’s mission–to get women to talk freely about their bodies, especially when it comes to hormonal health, periods, and everything in between. Nicole’s business is all about helping women balance their raging hormones and it all started when she had to learn, the hard way, how to balance hers.

Also in this episode we talk about: 

* Why women are still so uncomfortable when it comes to talking about their “you know.”

* “Body Literacy”

* The “Period Party” Nicole throws on a regular basis.

* The programs she uses to keep control of herself when it comes to being accountable in her business.

* The apprentice program she offers to anyone who’s interested in becoming a Hormonal Health Coach

“Stop giving Zuckerberg your money for ads that don’t work.” ~ Claire Pelletreau

Your business is growing. Or… trying to. You’re thinking, “Maybe I need to start advertising on Facebook.” Then…”Nah, I can’t afford it.” Or, “It’s too complicated!” Or, “Maybe I’d rather walk on hot coals.”

I hear you. So I asked Claire Pelletreau to come and give us the scoop on Facebook ads. Claire’s pretty cool. She lives in Argentina. (Yes, there’s a man involved-wink). She started off working for Laura Roeder and then her entrepreneurial spirit made her strike out on her own.

Also in this episode we talk about: 

* Why Argentina? (I had to ask!)

* Why Facebook?

* Why pay Facebook?

* Who is Ernesto? (C’mon, you’d want to know too!)

“If you’re not excited to get up and do the work then you’re probably not doing the right work.” ~ Rebecca Tracey 

Rebecca Tracey wants you to have a threesome with clarity, confidence, and action. Actually, that would make it a foursome but who’s counting? Rebecca’s concern is that you get up off your ass and just do something that will move you forward. She started TheUncagedLife.com while on a road trip.  Back then she worked one day a week and traveled the rest. She tells us why having a location independent career was her top priority.

Also in this episode we talk about:  

* Why you must have a coach when you’re in business;

* Rock climbing (hey! it’s good for business);

* What waitressing taught her about being an entrepreneur;

* Why play is so important when you’re working.

“No matter what I was told I was always focused on, ‘I’ll prove you wrong.'” ~ Gai Comans

Gai Comans was a “corporate perfectionist” when, at the age of 38, she was diagnosed with breast cancer and given a one-in-ten chance of survival.

One. In. Ten.

It’s been nearly 15 years since her doctors handed her that death sentence and not only did Gai survive the odds, she is thriving. Saying goodbye to her corporate identity has turned her into an entrepreneur on a mission to show other women how to defy the odds.

Also in this episode we talk about: 

* How standing on a bridge in Florence, Italy was the moment that set Gai free;

* Why she’s taking a group of women back to Tuscany, to that very same bridge;

* How her diagnosis took her out of corporate and into the world of entrepreneurialism;

* How Gai’s shift from survival to living took every ounce of courage and strength;

* The day Gai realized she could be an inspiration for women like her–women who’ve been told to get their “affairs in order.”

“Anything you’re doing is just for now.” ~ Margie Beiswanger

I love scientist-turned-entrepreneur Margie Beiswanger’s approach to doing business: Anything you’re doing is just for now. Brilliant! We don’t have to create the perfect business that will stand the test of time because it’s very likely we’re going to grow personally and professionally and our business will grow with us. Margie’s “thing” is creating signature products for online entrepreneurs and what’s interesting is the way she does it: backwards. She starts with your signature program and then creates an entire business plan around it.

Here’s what else we talk about: 

* If you’re trading dollars for hours your perceived value is diminished;

* Creating a signature product will help you establish the foundational steps entrepreneurs tend to ignore; 

* Why spending “big money” up front, especially on a website, is a waste; 

* Why it’s so important, even if you’re a brand new business, to “get something out there” and make it “real”;

“When you organize your calendar, your task list, and your email, the difference in the way you do business on a daily basis will be huge.”   ~Natasha Vorompiova

Are you pulling your hair out? Stomping your feet? Are you wondering whatever happened to that brilliant idea you had of going into business so you could experience more freedom? 

Relax Little-Miss-Entrepreneur,we’ve got you covered. All you need are some systems, specifically, systems that rock.

Today on the Gutsy Glorious Entrepreneur podcast I talk to Natasha Vorompiova about systems, systems, systems!, and how they can save your sanity.

Here’s what we talk about in today’s episode: 

* The three most important aspects of your business that must be systematized;

* Why you need a 12-month editorial and program calendar;

* How having monthly “themes” can streamline your content creation;

* Why you need a “master task list” (and not a regular old “to-do list”).

* Key programs you can use to help you get and stay organized.
